The rating may seem to hint that I really did not like this and while I won't say it's my favorite scotch blend, it does offer some value when it comes to cocktails. Dewar's white label is not trying to be the blend to drink when you want something neat and that's fine. The nose has hints of sherry, lemon and smoke. The first thing that hints you on the palate is the peat and honey, but it is watery and thin. The finish falls in line with many other grain blends, with sweetness and the grain overtaking everything, but pretty quickly fading, with little to no burn. If you need a scotch blend for a cocktail, this is a pretty solid choice. I personally prefer Johnnie Walker black, but that also costs a bit more. Johnnie Walker Red is also a bit better in my opinion for the same price, but I can see people leaning towards this bottle over that. Either way, I wouldn't recommend it neat, just stick to using it in cocktails.
